In this exercise, you will practice writing basic tests to check the correctness of a Python function. **Testing** is essential for maintaining code quality because it helps you verify that your code works as expected and catches mistakes early. You will be given a function, and your goal is to write a few **assert-based tests** that confirm the function behaves correctly for different inputs.
